Due to “global warming” and the so-called “greenhouse effect”, sudden climate changes are experienced in all parts of the world. Climate changes produce a variation in the Earth’s atmosphere that is felt in other parts of the globe like the ice caps and oceans.
The Earth is always experiencing climate variability according to several climate specialists. In general, climate is identified by a long-term pattern of we Read more…
Paying power bills on time is often a problem for a lot of us, and all of us sometimes find ourselves wishing that we could cut back on the use of electricity without causing discomfort for our families. And so do-it-yourself solar roof panels could very well be the much sought after mea of saving money without having to cut back on the amount of power we use.
Great progress has been made in recent times in the generati Read more…
In these times of increased energy costs, global warming caused by the greenhouse effect, researches on renewable and ecologically sustainable energy sources, one of the biggest challenges is the one to make our houses more efficient and less dependent from energy demand.
Ecologic houses are no more a utopia, but a reality. More and more enterprises apply on this field, that is in the construction or refurbishment of Read more…
We know what Al Gore thinks. We know what Hollywood thinks. And we know what some mereorologists think. Can we get a word on the global warming debate from a scientists or two? How about, say 400 scientists? Yep, that’s not a typo- it’s FOUR HUNDRED scientists! Over 400 prominent scientists from more than two dozen countries recently voiced significant o Read more…
The Earth and Venus are near each other in the Solar System, and are similar in size, density, and composition. Based on our understanding of the origin of the Solar System, we would expect that their initial atmospheres would have been rather similar. Yet the present atmospheres of the two planets could hardly be much more different than they are. How did this come to be? The reason is thought to lie in what is termed the “Run Read more…
Medical Marijuana & the Greenhouse Effect
Even in a warm climate growing State like California, gardeners still make use of the Greenhouse. The so-called “greenhouse effect” ensures that heat from the sun is trapped inside the greenhouse. Sunlight enters as short-wave radiation which can pass through glass. Once reflected by the plants and soil, it becomes long-wave radiation which cannot penetrate the glass to g Read more…
In fact, the greenhouse effect is really needed by the living creatures on earth, with no greenhouse gases, the planet will be very cold reaches minus 18 degrees centigrade so that the ice will cover the whole surface of the earth. However, due to the amount of these gases in the atmosphere have been excessive, then there were global warming.
Global warming caused by the effect of the Glass House event the surface of the Read more…
We all know that energy from the sun is required for sustaining life on earth. The outer atmosphere deflects approximately 30% of the sunlight that comes to the earth and this light is then scattered back in space. Remaining sunlight reaches the surface of the earth and gets reflected upwards in the form of slow moving energy known as infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases absorb the heat caused by the infrared radiation like CO2 Read more…
In February 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated in their Fourth Assessment Report that human actions are “very likely” (i.e. with 90% or greater probability) the cause of global warming, indicated by an increase of 0.75 degrees in average global temperatures over the last 100 years. This statement is the result of very tough discussions on a worldwide scale between thousands of climate researchers Read more…
It is important to understand the significance that global warming has on not only our earth, but our daily lives as well. It’s also important to understand the effects of global warming that our children and grandchildren will experience in the years to come if things continue the way they are now.
First, it’s important to understand that “Global Warming” is also known as the “Greenhouse effect”. Instead of a plastic o Read more…
